There are many ways to solve an equation. One way is by using a method called guess-and-check. A guess- and-check method involves guessing a value for the variable in an equation and checking to see if it is the solution by substituting the value in the equation. If the resulting equation is a true statement, then the value you guessed is the solution 𝟏 of the equation. If the equation is not a true statement, then you adjust the value of your guess and try again, continuing until you find the solution.
Use the guess-and-check method to find the solution of the equation x - 6 = 4.
Is 11 the solution
of x - 6 = 4? Explain.
Is 10 the solution
of x - 6 = 4? Explain.
Students, you already know how to use guess-and-check method to solve equations. Now, we will learn how to solve an equation by working backward.

Another way to solve an equation is by working backward. In this method, you begin at the end and work backward toward the beginning. Using a guess-and-check method could take many guesses to find the solution. Working backward seems more efficient because it uses reasoning about the values.
A solution of an equation is a value for the variable that makes the equation true.
To determine the solution of an equation, you will use the Properties of Equality.
What determines whether you use the Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality to solve an equation?

Inverse Operations
+ and –
 and 
A one-step equation requires one inverse operation to solve for the variable.
• To keep an equation balanced, inverse operations must be done on both sides of the equation.
The solution is the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
x + 2 = 5

x = 3
3 + 2 = 5 x x x x
Why is 2 subtracted on both sides of the equation?
Why is 3 the solution to the equation x + 2 = 5?
